Selfie Project: Book Relating to Research Interest

For my course research, I have decided to focus on the concept of female modesty from a feminist perspective, and analyze the differing conceptions of empowerment that comes with or is lost with modesty. I managed to find the book “Figuring Modesty in Feminist Discourse Across the Americas, 1633-1700” by Tamara Harvey in the basement book-shelves. Although I will most likely refrain from pulling the bulk of my research from this book, I believe it will be a good place to start in getting a historical backing on the differing opinions towards modesty from a feminist lens.
